Body temperature and resting behavior of Greater Snow Goose goslings in the high Arctic
Article Abstract:
Young of the Greater Snow Goose in the Arctic were studied to determine control of body temperature and resting behaviors. Wild goslings sat alone for longer periods as environmental temperature increased, but brooding behavior was prolonged as the temperature fell. Body temperature during huddling bouts in imprinted chicks was much lower than during periods of activity.

The thermal regime of eggs during laying and incubation in Greater Snow Geese
Article Abstract:
Research concerning the evaluation of the temperature of eggs of Arctic nesting Greater Snow Geese during laying and incubation is presented. Female presence at the nest and egg cooling rates were also studied.

Effect of hatching date on body and organ development in greater snow goose goslings
Article Abstract:
Poor feeding conditions encountered by late-hatched goslings in Greater Snow Geese due to seasonal decline in food supply disproportionately affected late-developing organs as against early-developing ones, as well as males compared to females. This was found in a study of the effect of the seasonal decline in food supply on the development of body components of late-hatched and early-hatched goslings in Greater Snow Geese.
